Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Special Report With Bret Baier 2019

This comes as House Democrats prepare to subpoena the Mueller Report and the president says he will let the attorney general make that call. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts starts us off tonight from the north lawn. Good evening, john. Bret, good evening to you. On a Conference Call this morning. Dhs official said the system is on fire. And while President Trump may indeed close down the border, he pointed to some recent steps taken by mexico that may have lowered the chance of that happening, at least for the moment. In the oval office today with the secretary general of nato, President Trump appeared to down play any imminent closure of the border. Mexico, as you know, as of yesterday, has been starting to apprehend a lot of people at their southern border. They are really apprehending thousands of people. And its the first time really in decades that this has taken place and should have taken place a long time ago. As fox news routerred yesterday, mexico has promised to make changes to its transit visa system and Deport Anyone trying to get to the United States who doesnt have the proper documents. President trump also called on congress to immediately take steps to fix immigration laws and insisted he still could close the border. Mexico is now stopping people coming very easy for them to do, stopping people coming in to mexico. Lets see if they keep it done if they keep doing that. Now, if they dont, or if we dont make a deal with congress, the border is going to be closed. 100 percent. Democrats and republicans alike say closing the border could have a devastating impact on americas economy. There is 1. 5 billion of trade every day between the u. S. And mexico. It will be an Economic Disaster if he does that. Closing down the border would have potentially catastrophic, Economic Impact on our country. And i would hope we would not be doing that sort of thing. The white house says its looking at various options for how a border closing would work. One plan would restrict pedestrian and personal crossings but leave truck lanes open. President trump acknowledged its a tough choice. Security is more important to me than trade. President trump also weighed in on tomorrows vote in the House Judiciary Committee whether to authorize subpoenas to demand the full robert Mueller Report and its background materials. I think its ridiculous. We went through two years of the mueller investigation. And so there is no collusion. There is no obstruction and now we are going to start this process all over again . I think its a disgrace. Committee chairman Gerald Nadler says congress should see everything mueller found. In 18998 he was opposed to the star report. Its grand jury material. It represents staples which may or may not be true by witnesses, salacious material. All kinds of material that it would be unfair to release. The starr report was eventually given to congress but President Trump couldnt help but marvel at nadlers about face. Jerry nadler was on the opposite side of this and he thought it was a disgusting, terrible thing to even think about giving the starr report. But now we should give the Mueller Report. President trump would not say today how the white house would respond, what action the department of justice would take if the House Judiciary Committee does issue subpoenas for the Mueller Report. But the president said he will put his full faith and trust in attorney general william barr to do the right thing. Bret . Bret john, thank you. Federal prosecutors say a woman carrying two chinese passports and a thumb drive containing computer malware lied to secret Service Agents and briefly gained admission to President Trumps Maralago Club over the weekend.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders says democrats are acting in bad faith, asking for personal confidential information they know they have absolutely no right to see. President trump says republicans will wait until after the 2020 election to mount another effort to get rid of obamacare and replace it with a better system in his words. But democrats in congress are trying to take advantage of the president s position right now. Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel shows us how tonight. This is not an issues fight or a legislative fight. Its a values fight. Democrats defending obamacare with the threatened by the Trump Administration at the supreme court. They have no healthcare plan. Its the same old song they have been singing. Therefore, repeal. They have no replace. President trump punted healthcare until after next years election. I want to put it after the election because we dont have the house so even though the healthcare is good, really good. Its much better than when the plan comes out, which we will be showing you at the appropriate time. Its much better than obamacare. Majority leader mcconnell told reporters he and the president are back on the same page. I made it clear to him we were not going to be doing that in the senate. He did say, as he later tweeted, he accepted that. New york democrat congressman akim jeffreys recalls waiting until after the election shady. Im from brooklyn. I know a hustle when we see one. Donald trump is hustling the American People straight out of 1600 pennsylvania avenue. But the white House Press Secretary says its. We lower the cost. We have to allow patients to have a say in the care that they receive. It is a complete and total contrast to what you are seeing the democrats put forward right now. Some democrats are proposing medicare for all which critics say would cost trillions of dollars and reduce the quality of care. Republicans rick scott of florida and josh hawley of missouri have unveiled a Prescription Drug plan ensuring pharmaceutical companies cannot charge americans more than other consumers around the world. One of the president s top allies says republicans must figure it out. If the court rules in trumps favor, we need to be thinking about an alternative that we can lay out to the public as our direction vs. Theirs. Louisiana republican john canady called out some lawmakers for lacking courage. Some of my colleagues need to go online and check amazon and see if they are selling spines at a special discount this week. With democrats already crisscrossing the country to run for president , a healthcare deal would seem unlikely before the 2020 election. The president has released. So pressure for now. Bret .

So i dont think we should be disqualifying people. Let him run.
